This was unfortunately a low point on our trip and a reminder to me to stop picking places based on…read morethe name (which I'm probably going to keep doing, if we're being honest). My cousin chums and I kicked off our mini winery tour here this past Labor Day around midday/early afternoon-ish. There was a small batch of wineries in the Naples area that were conveniently located within a short drive of our Airbnb, and this one logically made the most sense to kick off the adventures. The first issue is the location/atmosphere. The best wineries for me are comfortable and have a nice, pleasant view to look at while you sip your wine. This just doesn't have that all - the winery is located directly behind what looks to be an old factory building, so your view is of that building or at best, the picnic tables to the side of the winery which are sort of in an enclosed outside area that also doesn't offer any real views. The other problem with this situation is that it's a bit DIY - when we ordered our wine flights, we were instructed to bring them outside to wherever we wanted to sit. That's fine, but to even get to the aforementioned picnic tables, we needed to navigate down one or two flights of stairs and another seating area - you're just begging for an accident to happen here. We probably would have opted for the picnic tables if it were an easier trek to get to them. Instead we went with a narrow high-top situation in the area right outside the building on an enclosed porch which did not have a lot of room for our three wine flights. The fire pit/Adirondack chair situation closest to the door of the wine/gift shop is probably your best bet at least in terms of comfort, but again, it's just a view of the back of a factory building. We each got a $10 wine flight. It was a little annoying to get the little booklet/menu of options indicating we could choose any six, only to be informed verbally and in writing within the actual shop that it was now four. That kind of discrepancy shouldn't be reflected in your paperwork that you're handing out to customers - it looks unprofessional and feels like a holiday cash grab. And a very easy fix; that's a quick trip/order to your local printer at some point, assuming that's a permanent change and not a temporary one to take advantage of Labor Day Weekend visitors. Given that you're drinking booze by definition, what the winery offers for snacks/food is one of its more important qualities. And again, they fell short. At least they DID provide free popcorn, but it was stale and almost inedible. It also wasn't entirely clear what the water situation was; one of my cousins came out with a bottle of it but wasn't sure if it was being offered gratis or not; it didn't end up being an issue, but it was noticeably not good either, which is an odd thing to say about water. But the container it was in had a noticeable smell of dirty dishwater so it didn't seem like they were cleaning their cups/bottles well. Not great. The big problem overall? The wine isn't good, and you kind of know it going in when they're literally selling the wine by the pouch in addition to bottles. It's difficult to take a winery seriously when they're packaging their product in a container that's understandably associated with cheap, mediocre (if that) wine. I ordered the 2023 Gewurz, a Bubbly Reisling, the Schooner White and the Red Cat, which was arguably promoted more heavily than any of the other wines (not surprisingly given the name). The Red Cat probably IS the best of the wines I sampled but like a lot of the varieties, was super sweet and didn't have a lot to offer, palate-wise. I actually tend to like the semi sweet more than the drier wines because for me it's typically a smoother drink and easier to distinguish the notes, but there just really isn't anything here - I hate to say it, but it tasted like fruit juice, which I can just grab from the supermarket if so inclined. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the young women inside were very nice. I don't think any of the issues we encountered were because of them; they warmly greeted us as soon as we came in, and were helpful in directing us to the tasting area. They didn't have a lot to work with, and did what they could - that's a tribute to the winery's hiring practices at least. Avoid this one. If you need to drink wine out of a pouch, your local liquor store has them in the clearance section.

She was a lot of fun and gave the tasting extra pizzazz! She clearly knew all of the wines very well and gave us suggestions on how to use each one. There is a shop attached that sells other good items made by the company. We tasted a few (the raspberry celery seed dressing is phenomenal) and ended up buying 10 items between our wines and other things. It was a lot of fun. Highly recommend making this a stop on your wine travels. The Chardonnay and Dry Rose were especially delicious. This is a great family owned small business that is deeply proud of what it produces. We had a wonderful time.

In my personal experience I did not entirely feel great about my experience here. I came here in a…read moreparty of 3 and we wanted to split a single flight because we were a)visiting multiple wineries that day and b) driving ourselves. The idea for our trip was to try tastes of the wine and buy bottles of what we liked and if we wanted time to wind down, buy a glass and sit outside for 10-30 minutes before moving on to the next. To be fair, this was not the only place that seemed annoyed that 3 people were splitting 1-2 flights depending on if we wanted to try more or less. I want to defend ourselves saying we didn't take up much time or space in any place unless if we bought full glasses to enjoy. we had the wine flight on our table within 10 minutes of arriving (when we ordered and emphasized one to share our server seemed irked) and less than 5 minutes of it being on the table a staff member asked us if we wanted a check. We had only tasted 2 glasses as we each would take a sip and say what we tasted and if we liked it. We had not even tried all of our wines to determine if we wanted a glass to enjoy or a bottle to purchase. I was confused as we had not taken up much time and 2/3 of the tables were empty. The wine itself was fine, nothing insanely good or bad. Not exceptionally memorable except the rose which I didn't like but I felt it was interesting how they made it. Overall, we felt incredibly unwelcome and very awkward

There was literally one other car in the parking lot. We walked in and the man who worked here was being creepy with the only other woman in the place.

Again, the whole time we stood there dumbfounded-- not a "hello, we'll be with you shortly" or even an acknowledgment of any way. We eventually just left without trying anything.
